The 2014 M3 (F80) prototype which was spotted in Los Angeles this past weekend has made its way into the California Mojave Desert's Death Valley for high temperature testing.
With high temperature testing always comes the removal of some front end camouflage, necessary to increase the prototypes' air intake and cooling; which makes us the indirect beneficiaries of ever better looks at an exposed front end.
Yesterday's F80 M3 spy pics (some copied below) gave us the best idea yet of the lines and shape of the front end styling, and today's sighting adds to that by showing us some even more details – particular the lines of the front bumper air vents which could not be seen through the cloth covered front apron from yesterday's photos.
What it … CONTINUED
The F80 M3 sedan is coming together visually bit by bit with each new sighting of the development mules, and it's looking sportier by the spotting.
We recently brought you the first look at the F80 M3 hood bulge, and now we share with you the first glimpse of the F80 M3′s front end styling, which will feature an aggressive design much like the 2013 M6′s very attractive front fascia, with a pinch of 1M styling thrown in.
Although still covered in a cloth covering, the shapes and lines of the M3 front bumper are now easily seen and there's no mistaking its M6 like design (see the comparison photo below). The middle bumper intake is a trapezoid shape like on the M5/M6, although more aggressively angled. This … CONTINUED
The 2014 BMW F80 M3 and M6 Gran Coupe have landed stateside, with the first spotting coming in Los Angeles!
We have added more photos of the first F82 M4 Coupe prototype spotted last week. Full gallery inside.
We have posted even more photos of the latest 2014 M3 (F80) sedan prototype to be spotted, which shows a more aggressive hood with power dome/bulge.
We've just spied this afternoon this F80 M3 sedan prototype showing a power dome / hood bulge for the first time. The M3 may have now entered the FEP (Final Evaluation Phase) stage of testing. Until now some M enthusiasts have been disappointed to see the lack of a power dome on previous prototypes, but this mule confirms that the F80 M3 and F82 M4 will feature an aggressively shaped hood.
The rest of the camouflage remains as concealing as on prior mules. As seen clearly, the M3 kidney grilles are sportier than the F30 3 Series, yet not as thin nor wide as the recently exposed F82 M4 coupe grilles (pictured below for comparison). The headlights underneath the camo may (unconfirmed) also be a sleeker version … CONTINUED
Here are some renders put together by site member E92Alpine328i (Jerry).
Our analysis:
The F82 M4 coupe render will prove to be the more accurate of the two. Most accurate is the M6 style bumper, which BMW insider Scott26 has recently said (and sketched) to be the styling to expect for the M4 coupe. The F32 4 Series coupe and F82 M4 coupe are expected to feature similar headlights to the F30 3 series, but should be sleeker/slimmer. Their kidney grilles will be also be sleeker than those seen on the render, as the recently exposed 4 Series coupe grille spy photos show.
No spy photos have yet to show a hood bulge, and the anticipated inline 6 turbo engine should fit under the bonnet without … CONTINUED
We brought you the first photos of the 2015 M4 Coupe prototype earlier today, now have a first live look and listen at the prototype in action on the Nurburgring.
What you're seeing and hearing is the F80 M3 / F82 M4′s anticipated inline 6 cylinder engine with multiple turbochargers, pushing approximately 450 horsepowers. The engine has been rumored to be an extensively reworked and reinforced N55 6-cylinder engine with a strengthened aluminium block with a heavily modified cylinder head. The Induction technology is said to be completely new as will be the latest bi-vanos variable valve timing. But, we also think that there may be a possibility that the engine turns out to be a reworked/enhanced version of a successor engine to the N55 (which has … CONTINUED
We've heard rumblings in the past weeks that the F82 M4 coupe had begun its public testing rounds and our spies have now spotted it for the very first time!
The prototype wears the typical heavy camouflage of early stage mules, but there's plenty to analyze. There's little doubt this is the M version of the upcoming 4 Series coupe. There are the signature M quad exhausts, the flared fenders, signature blue M brakes, wide tires, and M6 steering wheel.
Both the front and rear fenders on the M4 coupe are significantly flared and stretched compared to the F32 4 Series prototypes we have spotted. The rear flare is easy to spot, while the front is less conspicuous. But one can easily tell in photo #5 where the … CONTINUED

Asparagus, At Last
We've been waiting for this moment.
We've watched the days get lighter, felt the sun get warmer. We've been going to the farmers' market, eagerly grabbing (and gobbling) those hallmarks of spring: ramps, artichokes, and now, asparagus!
Here, then, are seven ways to use our favorite spring vegetable: in salads, side dishes, soups, and main courses. Stock up, and eat up -- soon, it will be summer!

I like to make a sort of cream with chopped cooked asparagus, ricotta, and parmigiano. This makes a delicious filling for an omelette and with a little lemon zest and olive oil an easy but elegant pasta.

Results of an online survey conducted by Meeting Professionals International found that, while meeting planners and suppliers experienced an immediate negative impact due to last month's terrorist attacks in the United States, the majority of business lost short-term is due to meeting postponements, not cancellations.
According to an MPI press release, some of the survey highlights include:
- 85 percent of respondents expected business to be impacted over the next six months, however all signs indicate face-to-face meetings will continue to occur.
- In terms of total existing meeting commitments over the next six months:
-Nearly 50 percent of planners responding expect meeting postponement without relocation
-24 percent of planners responding made no meeting cancellations
-20 percent of planners responding indicated some meetings would occur via video or teleconferencing
-49 percent of planners responding expected to cancel business worth between $25,000 and $500,000
-39 percent of planners responding predict up to a 20 percent decrease in unconfirmed future meeting expenditures (Q4 2001 and beyond), however 24 percent expect no decrease at all
- On the supplier side, over the next six months nearly half expect cancelled business totaling $100,000 or more; one-third expect deferral of major spending/investment; and 25 percent expect reduction in staff. However, in terms of total future meeting revenues (Q4 2001 and beyond), only 22 percent expect a decrease of more than 20 percent. One-third expect a 10 percent or less decrease in business with another one-third expecting between 10 and 20 percent. And, nearly 15 percent of suppliers responding expected no change or a slight revenue increase of up to 10 percent.
- 42 percent of respondents expect no travel restrictions, with 29 percent anticipating restrictions and 24 percent uncertain. When asked about reasons for potential travel restrictions, just 19 percent of all respondents cited concerns about travel safety, with overall change in financial outlook defined as the driving factor by 40 percent of all respondents.
Results of this and future surveys conducted by MPI will be used to develop content for a forum slated for MPI's Professional Education Conference-North America, Jan. 20 – 22, 2001 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
NovemlJN 1, 1967 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE 815647
Mr. METCALF. Mr. President, when I
was at home in Montana several weeks
ago I was privileged to participate in the
Mansfield Endowment Dinner at Helena,
October 14. The dinner was the second
of two such events, the first held here
in Washington August 24, commemorating
Majority Leader MlKE MANSFIELD'S
25 years in Congress and the beginning of
the Maureen and Mike Mansfield lectures
in international relations at the
University of Montana.
The evening was splendid in every respect.
The featured speaker was our distinguished
and able colleague. the senior
Republican in the U.S. Senate, GEORGE
D. AIKEN. Montanans, Democrats and
Republicans, farmers and ranchers, businessmen,
miners, educators, and students
came from all parts of Montana, and
Senator and Mrs. Aiken came from Vermont
to pay tribute to Montana's senior
Senator, who is Senator AlKEN's longtime
friend and trusted colleague.
Senator AlKEN is recogniZed as a hardworking,
considerate leader in his own
party. It was most appropriate that he
speak at this event. The dinner recognized
the inauguration of a lecture series
in international relations, an area close
to Senator AlKEN because of his many
years of service as a member of the
Committee on Foreign Relations. Senator
AlKEN is also a great champion of
rural America, a man who has helped
solve many problems that plague the
agricultural segment of our economy.
Vermont and Montana have in COilliilOn
topography, friendly people, and the
homes of two great legislators.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent
that Senator AIKEN's speech be printed
in the RECORD.
There being no objection, the speech
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
14, 1967
Mr. Chairman and Friends or Mike Mansfield:
When I received the Invitation to be
here tonight to help the people of Montana
and the University of Montana pay tribute
to your Senior Senator for his twenty-five
years of service in the United States Congress,
I was quite elated.
When I was told that I was expected to ,
make a speech my elation took a nose dive.
What can I say about Mike MnnsfielcL that
the people of Montana do not already know?
You know his background- you know his
clvillan and mi!ltary reoord.
You know of the years when he worked ln
the mines and the years he spent at your
State University as student and teacher.
You know his record In public ll!e and
you know his character.
I have known your senior Senator well
only since that morning In January, 1953,
when we first had breakfast together.
I oould recite to you innumerable incidents
and anecdotes which have occurred
since that morning and which demon.stra te
the caliber of the man.
However, I don't propo6e to spend the next
few minutes In simply eulogizing Mike
I might !Ike to do It-you might !Ike to
hear it-but he would take me to task for
It later.
Not that Mike does not appreciate the
respect In which he Is universally held or
being credl ted with the things he does so
Senator Mansfield is the Leader o! the
Democratic Majority In the United States
I have served a long time In the same
Body as a Republican.
I can tell you tonight that Mike Mansfield
is equally respected on both sides or the
Aisle In the Senate Chamber.
There are those who may wonder why the
Majority Leader of the United States Senate
is so well liked by the Minority Members o!
that Body.
The reason was well expressed by one of
my Republican eolleagues the other day
when he said, "When Mike give~~ his word, he
keeps lt.,When he says there will be no vote .today-
there is no vote. He never pulls a fast
one or takes advantage or a Member's absence
from the Floor."
This Is the reason why Republican Members
of the Senate like your Senior Senator.
There comes a time, however In the lives
or many men when, regardle!IB of the praise
that may be bestowed upon them, they find
that their greatest reward lies In the satisfaction
of knowing that their works have
contributed to the betterment or mankind.
Mike Mansfield Is one of these men so in
deference to him tonight I want to speak
or those thlngs which are cloee to his heart~~-~
and to which he gives his working life.
Whether people are happy or not depends
largely upon government and those who,
by election or otherwise, assume responsibility
for government at each level.
I have always maintained that one who
Ignores, evades or misuses hle responsibility
to the local community will never be too successful
at the State, Nattonal or International
One's service to others Is a yardstick by
which the worth p! a person Is measured
but that service ne~d not always be rendered
by the holding of office.
In the case of Mike Mansfield, his Community
was first the mines of Montana and
later the University of Montana.
In 1943, his service to the State began with
election to the U.S. House of Representatives-
Increasing with his election to the
Senate in 1952.
Since 1953, however, Mike Mansfield has
become more and more a student and benefactor
of the world-respected and trusted
by the community of nations. '
Perhaps It Is because I represent a rural
state that I have worked so closely with
the Senior Senator from Montana.
Vermont is a small state and, until recently,
we had more cows than people.
Montana Is the fourth largest state In area
and even more sparsely populated than Vermont-
yet in many ways our problems are
We have to constantly guard against efforts
to concentrate the power of governmenL
in the National Capital and the economic
power o! the Nation in the populous
financial and Industrial centers.
The urge for empire building Is strong.
and it is so easy for the more wealthy and
populous areas to forget that the wealth
of which they boast WllS not created withm
their urban borders but for the most part
was generated and produced on the farms
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 43, Folder 91, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
s 15648 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE
and in the mines and forests of the more
sparsely populated states.
The financial situation of our large cities
Is such that Congress Is urgently pressed to
remedy their plight at public expense.
It Is an undisputed tact that most large
cities are in an unenviable position and need
help badly.
However, the solution to the p roblems of
cities that have grown too blg is not to make
them bigger.
The solution lies in making the rural areas
ot the Nation-including Montana and Vermon
t---ada.ptable for ~e spreading out of Industry
and population.
This means that not only must electricity
and telephones be made available to the
country but that transportation--£choolsbospitals-
water and sewage disposal systema
must also come within the means or the
rural community.
It means that Industry must decentralizewith
public assistance-If necessary.
It means that a strong and prosperous
agriculture must be sustained.
To this end, you Senator, Mike Mansfield,
has been working assiduously and successtully.
This year I have again joined with him in
an effort to further expand the program or
the Farmers Home Adm.lnistratlon to encourage
recreation and other sidelines for
~armers and rural residents, as well as to
enlarge the Rural Water Program.
It is not alone in the economic world that
our rural states must be on guard.
It is in the field of governrnen t as well.
Dreams of empire are frequently to he
found in agencies of the Federal government.
The dreamers or planners, as they are
sometimes called, cannot always be condemned
as being either avaicious or despotic.
Usually, they actually believe that they
could do better work and do more good for
more people 1! power and fac!ll ties were more
roncentrated-under their supervision of
This, in their opinion. means the removal
or certain important facilities and branch
omces from the thinly populated states to a
'ew large urban centers.
A striking example of this occurred a few
years ago when a determined elfort was made
to close many Veterans Hospl tal Faclll ties
and provide treatment for local veterans at
hospitals which In some cases were several
hundred miles from their homes.
Mike Mansfield reacted violently to this
He not only saved facilities for the veterans
of Montana, but also was Instrumental In
keeping VA facilities tor thousands of other
veterans throughout the United Ststes.
The job that Mike Mansfield dld for the
veterans of Montana Is only one example
or his service to hls people.
The years he hB.B spent In the Senate are
replete with evidences of his feeling for his
home State.
I sat with him In conference with leaders
ot the Canadian Parliament when he persuaded
them that construction or the Libby
Dam would be to the advantage of both
I have firsthand knowledge of his solicItude
tor the welfare of the Indians of
Montan~how he has fought for ratr treatment
for the farmers. the miners and the
buslneas and professional people of this
And each victory he has won for the State
ot Montana has been to the benefit or Vermont
and the other forty-eight Stntes of
our Union.
The evolution or government Is a continuing
The days when a community was an entity
unto Itself passed Into history long ago.
The days when a criminal could escape
punishment by cr068Jng a state line have
also, for the moot part, gone tor good.
The advance of technology ha.s now so far
eroded time and d.l.atance that the mysterious
distant lands of only a couple genera.t
lons ago are now as close to us and to each
other as t h e States of our Union were t hen.
And with these new conditions have come
new dangers and new hop es.
The means for doing good or evil h ave
multiplied-but the traits of mankind remain
about as they were.
With regional wars b reaking out here and
there and wl th the dark clouds of a greater
confl.lct looming ominously on the horizon,
we must not make mistakes.
The United States Is considered the most
powerful Nation In the world today.
It was predicted by our ablest military
experts that we could handily bring North
VIet Nam to terms Jn a short time.
And now when we consider how dlfflcult
It Is to make progress In that small area, It
makes one wonder bow successful we would
be In confl.Jct with a country that could field
well armed fighting men by the million.
Surely there are ways of settling International
dltl'erences other than through the
waging of war.
These ways we must find.
Your Senator, Mike Mansfield, Is one or
the world's great leaders In searching for
the formula for Pence.
He has become a leader not only in the
United States but around the world because
he Is universally respected and trusted.
Perhaps we have yet to learn that regardless
of race-creed-color or habitat people
are people and possess the same traits as
Nor, would It do us Americans any harm
to learn and practice the art of being humble.
Surely there are other people as smart and
worthy as we are.
Humility- integrity-courage and vision
are as Important 1n nations as they are
In the Individual--or the community, the
source of the progresa of mankind.
During the past twenty-five years Mike
Mansfield has taken those steps upward from
the Community to the State-to the Nation
and to the World.
Wherever one goes, however and whatever
one does, his heart and mind 1nstlnct1vely
turn back to the place or the beginning.
It Is from these sources that the great
men or history have derived much of their
strength and courage.
And so Mike Mansfield tonight returns
again to the University of Montana to the
source of many early Inspirations.
He returns not only to pay homage to this
University but to rectJve the honors which
he has so fairly earned
And to share that honor with hlm Is Maureen
Mansfield, who grew up to be a true
daughter or this State and who has contributed
so much to Mike's success.
Without Maureen his life and work would
have been far more difflcult.
In establishing "The Mansfield Lectures on
International Relations" ~hls University pays
honor to a great alumnus in a manner
designed to serve the four areas of poll tical
progress to which he has dedicated his own
life. ·
I know that your etl'orts will be crowned
with success and bring to the University of
Montana a rich reward.

Originally written April 11, 2006 (updated February 10, 2010)
As I compiled this list a thought came to me. Much of this research employs the productivity data generated in sports to tell stories about people who bring us the games we love. I thought it might be interesting to look at the story my productivity data tells. Okay, this is probably only interesting to me and if you found this essay tucked away here at the bottom of this page.... well, you probably need to get back to work or find something more entertaining to occupy your time.
Of course, now that your here, let's walk through the data. If we count the forthcoming work, I currently have 32 papers published in refereed journals. I received my Ph.D. in the summer of 1997, so I have published about 2.5 papers per year over the course of my career. Is that good or bad? In the past I worked on research with Abbas Grammy at Cal-State Bakersfield (where I used to work) examining the quantity of research produced by economists in the California State University system. Our research indicated that on average an economist employed at the many campuses in the California State University system publishes one paper every three years in refereed journals. Every three years I publish seven to eight papers, so relative to my peers in the Cal-State system, I am a bit more productive. Steve Levitt, co-author of Freakonomics, publishes five papers every year, or fifteen papers every three years. So relative to him... well, I get to make excuses for why I am not so productive. As we state in the book, good or bad depends upon your point of reference. So if I ignore the amazing productivity of Steve Levitt and economists like him, I can sort of feel good about myself.
Beyond my publication rate, we can also see that virtually all of my work is co-authored. Over the course of my career I have published research with 19 different writers, with Martin Schmidt being my most frequent collaborator. In all, Marty and I have published 13 papers together. One can look at this as I work well with others, or lack the skills to complete projects by myself. I like the "works well with others" story, although my many co-authors might play up the "lacking skills" angle.
One final issue is who publishes the academic work I write. We economists love to rank journals – actually we love to rank everything, but that is another story -- and most rankings would rate my one publication in The American Economic Review and my two papers in Economic Inquiry as my best. Of my remaining 29 papers in refereed journals, ten have appeared have appeared in the Journal of Sports Economics. My remaining nineteen publications have appeared in twelve different journals. Not sure what story that stat tells. There are more than 400 journals in economics, so apparently I have some writing to do if I am going to land in all of these.

Four P195/75 R14 M S Tires with approximately 5k miles on them. They are mounted and balanced - ready to go. I upgraded to steel styled rims and dual redlines, so dont need anymore.
There is a small gash in the tread of one tire (thanks to a curb), yet tire is still drivable. All others are mint.
$400 for all. Sorry, you will need to pick these up in person, I will not ship the tires.
Also have 4 wire rim hub caps for sale - will ship these.

You can hardly call yourself a New Yorker without having a favorite dish at the famous East Village Ukrainian eatery Veselka Restaurant. In business since 1954, it offers neighbors and visitors 24-hour comfort food in a diner-type atmosphere. The kids love the pierogis and potato pancakes; the adults love the borscht and sweet cheese blintzes. On the way out it's hard to pass up the pastry counter with its pies, cupcakes, cookies and homemade muffins. The restaurant also has a seasonal outdoor café at First Park, a park and playground located at First Avenue and First Street.

Support Services supports the Detention Center in several ways. Under the command of Captain Douglas Schuler, Support Services is responsible for maintaining the Detention Center's physical plant and for meeting all required fire safety and sanitation requirements. Support Services also supervises the preparation and delivery of all staff and inmate meals. This is accomplished through the work efforts of Detention Center inmates, who perform the actual cleaning and meal preparation, supervised closely by the Division's Facility Services staff and for food service, by the facility's contract food service provider.
Support Services also provides for the inmate records function. Records staff maintain hard copy files of each inmate housed in the Detention Center containing the inmates' legal status information, pending release dates, detainers from other jurisdictions, and with the exception of Classification, Medical and Mental Health status, other information related to each inmate's custody. The inmate records function is vital, for all inmate release dates are maintained in the Section, ensuring that individuals are appropriately released after serving their term of incarceration. Inmate Records is also responsible for making notifications to victims of the pending release of inmates housed in the Detention Center who were adjudicated in the Alexandria courts. This important service helps to protect the safety of victims every day. In 2012, Records staff processed 49,779 inmate records and files.
Through its efforts, Support Services adds value to the City through the work of the Inmate Work Detail. The Work Detail performs community works projects throughout the City for government agencies and non-profit organizations. Projects completed by the Work Detail include mulching and tree planting; mowing; trash removal in public thoroughfares, community parks, and public areas; painting; and completion of other beautification projects seen in Old Town and neighborhoods throughout the City. More recently, the Work Crew assisted the Alexandria Volunteer Bureau in the agency's move to its new building, earning commendations and compliments for their efforts. In FY 2012, the Work Detail performed 5,475 hours of service and saved the City approximately $150,000 in labor costs.

822 Washington Blvd, Venice, CA | Directions 9029233.988059 -118.451829
Neighborhoods: Marina Del Ray, West LA, Marina Del Rey
Don't bother unless you want to be insulted – The food was better than average bar food - but don't expect to pay bar food prices. We ordered appetizers, a mix of entrees and dessert (the works) and everything was ok. The cherry on top of our otherwise mediocre evening was to have the very witchy hostess (I could use other terminology but wanted to keep this review rated G) come over and literally kick us out of our table because she had another reservation coming in. Mind you, no one had bused our table - I barely even paid the check. Look, missy, if you need the table, plan better or at least do the right thing and have your staff bus tables properly or offer a special incentive like "come to the bar and have a free drink". Anything but how she handled this would have been better.
Great Place for a late weekend drink – Great drinks and good service. However a bit expensive but what do you expect in the Marina. It's also not that crowded usually so you can actually have a conversation without shouting for the most part. A good chill weekend lounge spot. They serve food late too which is a plus.
THE WORST – I couldn't believe how bad the service was and there were only a hand full of customers. It got way worse from there. My wife got a salad that was BROWN and smelled like garbage. When we tried to return it, the manager told us that it wasn't that bad. Wow. Pass on this place. Too many other great choices in LA.
Not Worth A Dime – We (7 people) spent three hours drinking and eating and then were asked to move inside because another party showed up. They movedus near the bthroom area indoors. Manager was the worst - snapped at me and told me to sit down. Waste of money especially for No happy hour with bad attitude and rude service. Plenty of great places down the street that appreciate your business.
Great for big groups, good food for $ – I went there with a party of 10. We ate in the "back" room. The front part of the house seemed much more happening so if I were a small party I'd recommend going without a rez and eating apps there. Scallop app was good as was the Duck confit. The one blemish was the Spaghetti Squash app that came out during the first course and also on the main course. It was way over garlic'd and I told the waitress that the chef had ruined the dish after we had our appetizers, and when it came out the second time, it tasted the same, so clearly they make the dish before service starts. Pork tacos very good. Salmon also very strong. We went on a friday night and it was very loud so if you are looking for an intimate spot the back room is not it, but you're better out front anyways. Service was very good and the Red Velvet cake for desert was solid as well. Overall great value considering how cheap the bill was.
great place to hang out – I have been to this place few times now and I honestly always enjoy the experience. I like the place itself and the atmosphere, and I love sitting around the fireplace. The food is pretty good, just not enough for the 4th star on my book. Overall I recommend it. It is the ideal place to catch up with a friend that you haven't seen in a while.
Great service & Food – A great place, Food and Service....
Went last night the the place was packed, We first had dinner in the back dinning room. After filling up on a great dinner, we moved to the lounge to finish the night..
We always love going to beechwood..
LAME Midget Redhead 'Manager' – Wow. I used to come here alot and dealt with mediocre service, whatever---to be expected. But tonight= outright RUDE management.
Way too long of a story to spend time on, but as a previous bar / club manager...i was met with the most ridiculously outright rude management imaginable for such a mediocre neighborhood bar.
The owners of this 'bar' ought to be ashamed to have such a TOOL working as manager. Next time i'll bring my party of 20 plus to a competitor. Can't wait to see this place go down, they deserve it.
Have had more pleasant experiences in a hospital cafeteria – All reviews on this site commenting on the rude and arrogance of the staff here are entirely true. My husband and I went here for a nice quiet Saturday night dinner. We were led into an EMPTY dining room, with 3 of the approx 10 booths taken, and the rest of the free standing tables in the middle entirely empty. We asked, since there were several empty booths, if we could sit it one. They said, "no, they are all reserved for large parties." Five minutes later, another couple, walked into the restaurant, and were led to a crappy table like ours. They protested like we did and asked for a booth. When they stated they were going to leave if they did not get one were led to one immediately. When I asked the hostess staff and the manager what was going on, they stated, "We were going to make them move anyway." We promptly left the place.
What a joke this place is. Who do they think they are? Talk to me when you can fill your tables at prime time on a Saturday night. It is clear that other people have figured out that this place is not worth it, as it is pretty much vacant. You have places all over LA to chose from. Don't waste your time with these people.
Horrible service and management and over priced food – I went to Beechwood for a friend?s birthday. Service was extremely slow. It took over 45 minutes for our dinner to arrive once ordered. I ordered the red snapper. When the waitress brought out my dish a horrible odor of fish engulfed the surrounding area. Fish is not supposed to smell, especially at the price Beechwood charges. My friend's tagliatelle with mushroom sauce was equally disappointing. Tagiatelle should be homemade and the mushroom sauce should be rich in an earthy mushroom flavor. Instead the tagaitelle was obviously store bought and rubbery and the sauce was simply butter with a few mushrooms and herbs. If you go here, only order from the small menu. My friend spoke with our waitress and manager about the long wait we had for our food. The manager was unfriendly and unsympathetic. He did not offer to discount our bill. Instead he placed two bouncers by the door to make sure we didn't skip on our bill. How much more low class can one be made to feel? What a disappointing birthday dinner for my friend. I will never go back.

Earth-Life Transitions (ELT)
The Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology program is pleased to announce a NEW funding opportunity for the SGP community! This program, called "Earth-Life Transitions" (ELT) is a direct response to some of the grand challenges posed by the community through a number of workshops and National Academy reports. ELT will support fundamental research into Earth system dynamics, focusing on scientific questions at the frontiers of climate change and biogeosciences. The goals of the Earth-Life Transitions program are 1) to develop the synergistic activities and capabilities of multi-disciplinary scientists to address critical questions about Earth-Life interactions in deep time and 2) to enable team-based interdisciplinary projects involving stratigraphy, sedimentology, paleontology, calibration and application studies, geochronology, and climate modeling at appropriately resolved scales of time and space, to understand the major linked events of environmental, climate and biotic change at a mechanistic level.
This program is Track 2 of the newly revised SGP solicitation 12-608 and can be found on the SGP website: http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13691. The estimated number of awards for the Track 2 ELT competition is ~6 at <$500,000 and ~4 at $1,000,000-$1,500,000. A PI can only submit ONE proposal to the Track 2 competition. The program will be offered every other year in the Spring (2013, 2015, 2017). The deadline for submittal is February 23, 2013 and January 17 in 2015 and 2017. Normal merit review criteria as well as page limits, data management and post-doc mentoring plans apply.
If you have any questions regarding this new funding opportunity, please contact the SGP Program Officers: H.Rich Lane (email: email@example.com; phone: 703-292-4730) and Lisa Park Boush (email: firstname.lastname@example.com; phone: 703-292-4724).

I have been working at D&B full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Can work close to home or remote. Top of the industry. Certain managers are great. Good entree into the b2b world if you have not done that before.
Cons – Financial Flexibility every year - kind of like the D&B Hunger Games where they just pick a certain number of people in different areas to lay off that are supposedly not bringing value. Although, they have chosen people who were definitely very capable and valuable.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop having reps manage the whole contract process, it is a total drain on time and resources. D&B is famous for minimizing resources and just sucking the life out of everyone because they are doing the job of 6 people. Stop being so pennywise and dollar dumb or whatever that saying is. Invest in some resources so that your sales people can be out selling instead of strapped to a computer all the time managing contracts.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Visit the Mexican wolf exhibit for fun educational activities.
October 11, 2013
Come to the ABQ BioPark Zoo for Wolf Awareness Days on October 18-20 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Learn about Mexican gray wolf conservation through interactive discovery stations and educational activities. Get hands-on with wolf biofacts and crafts and learn how lobos communicate with barks, yips and howls.
"Think like a mountain" as you learn about the critical role of wolves as keystone predators. Hear from experts about why conservation hero Aldo Leopold said, "Only the mountain has lived long enough to listen objectively to the howl of a wolf."
"The BioPark's wolf pack is fascinating to watch," said Sarah Shrum, Zoo Education Specialist. "We have all males on exhibit right now and their behaviors show how dynamic their relationships are. Zoo guests can enjoy watching the pack interact, participate in activities to understand their role as a keystone species, and learn how the BioPark has been involved in conservation efforts in the wild."
Mexican gray wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) were listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act in 1976. Populations had been severely reduced as wolves increasingly came into conflict with humans. Today, captive breeding and recovery programs in New Mexico and throughout the Southwest attempt to re-establish this important species in the wild.
Wolf Awareness Days are included with regular admission. On Saturday and Sunday, October 19 and 20, zoo guests can take advantage of Half-Price Weekend and purchase single admission tickets for 50% off regular rates. For more information, email [email protected] or dial 311 locally (505-768-2000).

If the drain is 1 1/2" it was never proper and they may have jury rigged a drain together.
I'm redoing my shower and the drain will likely be directly above a joist or just on the other side of the joist from the stack/vent connection.
The existing shower uses what appears to be something like a tub drain shoe (I can't actually see it) which then extends approx 1' across the top of the joist to the p-trap. (see attached sketch)
Is it legal to have the ptrap "offset" like this?
In the new shower the drain is in a different location so the offset needed will only be a few inches although I will likely have to enlarge the notch in the top of the joist to accommodate the new 2" drain (existing is 1 1/2").
If the drain is 1 1/2" it was never proper and they may have jury rigged a drain together.
The drain was installed in 1969. I'm guessing the 1 1/2" for a shower was OK back then.
Thanks Bob M
The problem is that the new drain location is close to being directly over a joist. Moving it 2" or so to get away from the joist throws off the whole layout of the bath (e.g 48" for the vanity would be 46" nonstandard) etc. Does anyone know if the "tub shoe" arrangement is "code" for a shower. It is ok for a tub where the p-trap directly under the tub overflow and not the tub drain.

Latest Facebook scam: 2 free Southwest Airlines tickets
Airline says it's working to 'sqash' scam
A bogus offer for two free Southwest Airlines tickets is landing in newsfeeds all over Facebook.
The Dallas-based airline said it is working to "squash" the scam.
When people click on the offer, the scammers can they hijack that person's Facebook account. Their account then posts the offer, often notifying their "friends" that they've been tagged in a photo.
The scam, one that's made the rounds a couple of times in the past year, is an attempt to trick people out of their personal information.
Southwest urged anyone who clicked on the link to change their Facebook password and check their Apps for any unwanted new ones.
Million Dollar Baby recalled 18,000 children's four-drawer dressers after reports that a toddler in Oklahoma and another in California died.
When children climb on an open dresser drawer, the dresser may tip over and fall on them.
The recall involves the Emily and Ryan models sold as part of the Da Vinci furniture collection. The dressers were sold at JC Penney, Amazon.com, BabiesRUs.com and other retailers.
The dressers met standards when first produced, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission www.cpsc.gov, but now dressers must come with tip-over restraints that attach to walls.
Consumers should contact the company www.themdbfamily.com/safety2 to get a retrofit kit.
Nearly 120,000 trampolines sold at Walmart have been recalled. They are the Sportspower BouncePro 14 with the black net enclosure.
In May, 92,000 trampolines with brown netting were recalled because the net can break. Since that recall, more children have been hurt, including broken bones and back injuries.
Walmart stores sold them from February 2009 through March 2011. Consumer should contact www.sportspowerltd.net for a replacement netting.

You are hereLearn About Canadian Sport For Life › Ten Key Factors › Excellence Takes Time
Excellence Takes Time
How long does it take for athletes to reach the top of their game? About 10,000 hours of training and competing. For most athletes, that translates into about 10 years.
Research has shown that it takes 10,000 hours of quality training for athletes to achieve their full potential and perform at an elite level. In most examples of top-ranked athletes and other star performers, their 10,000 hours are usually accumulated over at least 10 years of training and competing.
This translates into an average of 3 hours of daily training, applied practice and competition over 10 years. Again, this is an average over the span of 10 years. It is not desirable to see children formally "training" in one sport for three hours every day when they are 7 years old. Training hours increase during adolescence, and this rounds out the average.
Children should be active in a variety of sports and physical activities throughout the year while they are elementary school age. They should have daily physical activity that includes a blend of free play and formal activity that features quality coaching and instruction.
Increasing training hours
By the time an athlete has chosen to specialize in one sport – usually around age 14 – they should begin formal daily training for that sport. Their overall training hours should begin to approach 3 hours per day or more if they want to reach an elite or professional level.
Not all of these "training hours" will involve training directly in their sport. Many of the hours will include generalized components such as flexibility training and fitness training (e.g. running, gym workouts).
Olympic athletes and the 10-Year Rule
In a comprehensive review of U.S. Olympians who competed between 1984 and 1998, the research revealed the following facts:
- U.S. Olympians began participating in their sport at the average age of 12.0 years for males and 11.5 years for females.
- Most U.S. Olympians reported a 12- to 13-year period of training and development from introduction to their sport to making the Olympic team.
- U.S. Olympians who won medals tended to be 1.3 to 3.6 years younger than their teammates when they were introduced to their sport, suggesting that medalists benefited by receiving motor skill development and training at an earlier age. (Note: This does not say that they specialized in their sports at a young age. Caution must be taken not to fall into the trap of premature specialization, since it can actually have negative effects on the athlete's long-term development.)
Read more
Bestselling books such as The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle, Bounce by Matthew Syed, and Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell discuss the significance of 10,000 hours of training and deep practice. These books are excellent popular reads that cite examples such as David Beckham, the Beatles, Mozart, and Michelangelo to illustrate how training and practice are far more significant to achieving excellence than "natural talent" or genetics.

If you're looking for something to cover up all that hair on your chest-look no further, you manly man, you. The PUMA Giacca mimetica militare is engineered to cover up and warm torsos with maximum style. It's a streetwear silhouette fused with performance-and protection-oriented properties: it's critically seam sealed for a high level of water repellence while maintaining breathability and warmth. It features the PUMA Camo graphic which is inspired by military camouflage, takes influences from its blocky geometrics, and mixes them with shapes stolen from animal prints similar to the iconic PUMA Beast sneaker. The result is a smartly unbalanced color blocking that's sure to steal a few scenes. La Giacca mimetica militare PUMA è compatibile con la Canotta mimetica per un doppio calore. It's also compatible with things like Shark Week and bacon and bowling and mustaches and high fives that never awkwardly miss their target. Like we said: manly.
Giacca mimetica militare
Questa giacca è fatta per l'da uomo che ama stare all'aperto
